Darth Gerard

A co-worker has just received a delivery in the mail: a replica of Darth Vader's lightsabre, complete with motion-sensitive sound effects and a blade that lights up and shuts down via 64 timed LEDs. It really shouldn't bring him this much joy, but he's been waving that thing around like he's the Star Wars Kid all grown up. It's a good thing it makes its own sounds, or I'd probably have to kill him. Various other office passers-by have been drawn in to take a look, and I've gotten to thinking that maybe I need something that gets this much attention, but less geekish.

Mokalus of Borg

PS - It's sitting on his desk right now in its display stand.
PPS - This display piece/toy cost $200 (Australian).
